For this reason, we demonstrate a simple method of open hand Wing Chun strikes that will quickly and easily incapacitate someone. Our belief is that you should limit the use of your fist, unless you have well conditioned hands, or you aim for soft targets such as the side of the neck.

So in part one of our Self Defence video we look at where you actually strike for a knockout punch. The second half describes why hitting the side of the neck works my work so effectively, what we describe as the science behind strike. Basically, how to knock someone out with one punch. Finally, we examine three ways in which this strike should be used in a street fight.

Warning: Do Not Practice this Technique without Proper Supervision. It is extremely dangerous.
